I am planning to ditch my Xperia Ion, for either a Z ultra, or a T1 Ultra.
I don't really need a waterproof phone.
The Ion is a 1.5GHz dual, 1gb, the T2 is 1.4 quad, and the z is 2.2 quad.
I'm mostly on Email, TBHP, FB, whatsapp, Chrome, 9G, the usual. No heavy apps, except occasionally CSR and others like that.
Th Ion used to hang. You think a 1.4 is sufficient, and I can safely use it for the next year? I think there is a price difference of about 10k(?). Would the t2 be a better bet, all things considered?
Either phone will not be kept for more than a year or year and a half.
help!

Seems to be a SIM issue only. My 2 friends are using Reliance GSM SIM in MOTO G without any issue.

Does the Phone shows No SIM Error on inserting the Reliance SIM? Lot of time Cut SIMs give issue if they are not propoerly aligned. New Original Micro SIM should not be giving this Issue. Hope the New SIM is the Micro GSM one and not CDMA one by Mistake.
